Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

Home > Behavioral Health Services > Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

Applied Behavior Analysis is the science of behavior based on learning theory. ABA at Indian Creek begins with a functional behavior assessment (FBA) to help determine the reason for behavior. FBA informs the plan to change the environment or teach new skills so the child can meet their needs in a better way. FBA identifies a starting point from which data will drive progress. A treatment plan is developed using evidence-based methods to systematically reduce problems while teaching and reinforcing new skills such as communication skills, play skills, social skills, ability to follow directions and ability to be independent. Brief discrete trial training in a controlled setting is balanced with application in natural settings with the parent involved in the process. ABA services are provided by trained staff under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

Services are typically provided in the home, daycare or community. Services can be provided in school if appropriate. Due to COVID 19 ABA services are available primarily through telehealth but can be supplemented in person with safety measures in place.

Assessments – a qualified clinician will complete a full assessment in collaboration with the child, family and other members of the treatment team.
